Docker: SELinux relabeling issue for a local nfs volume

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • With the latest update of docker (rhel7 extra repo), we encounter a bug with nfs volumes (local driver):

    # docker volume create -d local --name xxx --opt type=nfs --opt o=addr=xxxx,rw,actimeo=0,sync --opt device=</path/to/dir> 
    # docker run --rm -ti -v xxx:xxx --name <container name> <image name> /bin/bash
    
  • The above command reports below error:

    ERROR: for <service name>  Cannot create container for service php-local: SELinux relabeling of /var/lib/docker/volumes/image/_data is not allowed: "operation not supported"
